Sibs: supporting people who grow up with or have grown up with a disabled sibling

Sibs exists to support people who grow up with or have grown up with a disabled brother or sister. It is the only UK charity representing the needs of over half a million young siblings and over one and a half million adult siblings.

Siblings have a lifelong need for information, they often experience social and emotional isolation, and have to cope with difficult situations. They also want to have positive relationships with their disabled brothers and sisters and to be able to choose the role they play in future care and support.

The Sibs website provides information for:

• parents
• professionals
• adult siblings 
• young siblings

YoungSibs website

A YoungSibs website has been created for children and young people who have a brother or sister who is disabled, has special educational needs or a serious long-term condition.
